I don't know if it's really true that Amyl Nitrate (poppers) and Ether were big in the 60s or 70s but they seem to have been more popular then than now and I was wondering why?
I was also wondering about other drugs that used to be big in the 60s and 70s like barbiturates like Reds (Seconal), Yellows (Nembutal I think?) etc.
Unlike Quaaludes, these drugs still exist but I've never heard of anyone taking them.
I wonder where people even get/got stuff like Ether or Amyls (NOT looking for sources).
I mean, obviously they needed prescriptions, but they'd still require prescriptions now so why do we not here of people using them frequently?
Has anyone on here ever taken Ether, Amyls, Seconal or Nembutal and what were your experiences like?
Ever since watching Fear and Loathing I've been curious about trying Ether and Amyls but I don't know how safe they are and wouldn't have access anyway.
Edit: On a slightly different note, I also wonder about other drugs that were popular during other eras that have not only fallen out of popularity but seem to have dropped off the face of the earth.
Like Mickey Finn's (Chloral Hydrate) was used recreationally in the early 1900s and I dont know if anyone uses it anymore.
Also, Laudanum tinctures of Opium were really popular in the early 1900s and I wonder how they were made and if anyone knows of anyone who has tried to make them?
Of course, Absinthe was also big, and I've always wanted to try authentic absinthe but I think it's only legal in Switzerland and maybe Spain.
